This school needs serious help. If you don’t fit into their “box” you won’t come
back next year. If you’re not rich, white, straight and mentally stable you get
bullied.

First off, Barstow is better. My 9 year old appreciated nothing about how the
kids treated him. This school is taken over by arrogance and pride.

This school is absolute trash. They deal with LGBTQ rights VERY poorly, and
don't let kids think for themselves. All while convincing our parents that PHS
is the best school EVER.

I regret sending my little one here. We went in gorgeous and confident. Half a
year later when we took him out, he was tense and unhappy. I feel sad about it.
